I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has announced a new program which seeks to enable quantum-level infrared (IR) detection at room temperature. The IR spectrum is a vast information ...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive method for detecting hotspots in the environment, such as bushfires or military threats, by harnessing the focusing power of meta-optical systems. The key ...

Researchers developed a type of infrared photodiode that is 35% more responsive at 1.55 m, the key wavelength for telecommunications, compared to other germanium-based components. Detecting infrared ...

As the U.S. Army produces third-generation forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensors, officials are exploring emerging capabilities that might be integrated into fourth-generation systems. FLIR ...

Advanced-technology sensors, coupled with data processing and fusion and networked communications, have enabled new approaches to warfighting and have been essential for reducing combat losses, ...

Extending its portfolio of image sensors for automotive applications, Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corp. has announced the upcoming release of its new 5-megapixel (MP) IMX775 CMOS RGB-IR image sensor ...

May 26th, 2026 LYNRED launches SPIRIT, a strategic European project to prepare the next generation of sovereign Infrared detectors. Rating 1 2 3 4 5; Funded by the European Union ...

Electro-optical detectors are used to measure or sense the radiation emitted or reflected by objects within the detector’s optical field of view (FOV). Passive systems operate without any illumination ...
